DESCRIPTION:INFORUM and The Commonwealth Club present\n\nWednesday, July 18\n\nJIMBO 
 WALES\nFounder, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation and Wikia\n\n\nWhen you 
 need information fast, about anything or anyone, where do you turn? It 
 seems flipping through the pages of an Encyclopedia is a thing of the past, 
 as the quirky but clearly computer savvy Jimbo Wales has opened the doors 
 to boundless and up to date encyclopedic information on the Web. Wales is 
 best known for his major role in the founding of the new go-to 
 informational resource, Wikipedia and has recently caught our attention in 
 his headlong battle against Google to promise more transparency and less 
 spam. While these resources allow access to a tremendous amount of 
 information, we must ask ourselves, “How accurate are these posts, how 
 much can we rely on them?” Jimmy Wales will explain his thoughts on the 
 accuracy of Wiki posts, the politics of the Internet, as well as what’s 
 next on his agenda. \n\n6:00 p.m., Check-in | 6:30 p.m., Program | 7:30 
 p.m., Wine and Hors d'oeuvres Reception | Club office, 595 Market St., 2nd 
 Floor, San Francisco | $12 for Members, $20 for Non-Members, $7 for

 Station\n\nSubscribe to our weekly email newsletter to hear about upcoming

 Commonwealth Club by and for people in their 20s and 30s, with a mission to 
 inspire debate around civic issues.  We are a connector between ideas, 
 individuals and communities.\n\nFounded in 1903, the Commonwealth Club has 
 played host to a diverse and distinctive array of speakers, from Teddy 
 Roosevelt in 1924 to Erin Brockovich in 2001. Along the way, Martin Luther 
 King, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates have all given landmark 
 speeches at the Club.\n\n
